Tech Tips: At what distance from the wall should the fridge be kept? People have been making this mistake for years... then they get a higher bill..

Be it winter or summer, the fridge is a machine in the house that keeps running 24 hours a day. However, if the electrical appliances kept in the house are not taken care of properly, they can leave you in a very short time. If you want the fridge kept in your house to keep running for a long time without any major problems, then some small things also have to be taken care of. Many people do not know the correct placement of the fridge in the house. Many people keep the fridge completely close to the wall, which is not right for it. So let us tell you today how much distance should be there between the fridge and the wall.

Why is the right distance important?

The fridge is an electrical appliance that heats up when it runs and throws out the heat. If you touch the surface of the fridge while it is running, it will feel hot. This heat of the fridge needs space to come out, but when you keep the fridge very close to the wall, this heat is not able to come out properly and the load on its compressor starts increasing. If the load on the compressor increases beyond limits, its life decreases and it gets damaged quickly, but you do not need to worry. If you also do not know how much distance should be there between the fridge and the wall, then here we are talking about this.

What do companies say about the right distance?

Although there is a lot of information on the Internet about this subject, officially we got information about it on LG's website. According to LG, there should be a gap of at least 4 inches or 10 centimeters between the fridge and the wall. It is also mentioned in the website that if the fridge is not kept at the right distance from the wall, then the heat coming out of the cooling motor will not be able to come out properly, due to which cooling will be reduced and the electricity bill will increase.
